Part 7/10:
Evan identifies the Boston Celtics, even with their injuries, as the main team that could challenge the Knicks. The Celtics’ historical success and star power make them a matchup to watch, despite their current setbacks. Also, he mentions Detroit as dangerous but ultimately likely to falter in the early rounds.
He underscores the significance of “battle testing”—teams like the Knicks, with playoff experience—having an advantage over less experienced squads. The team’s leadership, reinforced by players like Brunson and Hart, combined with their talent and experience, positions them favorably for a championship run.
